Manufacturing Building for the Future

Excelsior Medical

As part of Medline’s Vascular Access division, Excelsior Medical manufactures a variety of vascular access products including prefilled saline and heparin catheter flush syringes and disinfectant caps. Excelsior currently operates out of manufacturing sites in Neptune, NJ and Hartland, WI.

To accommodate growing demand for these products, Excelsior is expanding operations with a new location in Tinton Falls, NJ and is adding capacity at our Hartland facility. The new 100,000 square foot Tinton Falls facility will house one syringe manufacturing line with the capacity to add another line. In Hartland, WI, the expansion plans include tripling the facility capacity with the addition of two automated syringe manufacturing lines. We are on track to support our future growth with the new lines at both locations expected to be up and running in Q2 2024.

In Alignment

Project Unify began in 2019, with the lofty goal of aligning technology systems and standardizing processes across our North America manufacturing sites to support continued growth, including replacing existing software with SAP’s Manufacturing Solution. The multi-year endeavor will improve overall efficiency through reduced expedited shipments, minimized excess inventory/scrapping, and better utilization of warehouse space, as well as providing greater visibility into quality and regulatory compliance. Implementation has been completed at six plants with

ReNewal

Medline ReNewal reprocesses nearly 5,000 different types of single-use devices—from tourniquets to patient transfer mats—restoring them to their original quality and functionality. To support our continued growth in this market, a plant expansion has been underway at our Redmond, Oregon facility to add production lines for additional product categories. We look forward to increasing our capacity to support the growing needs of our customers.

This expansion project is a shining example of the strong team environment at Medline and ReNewal. Due to the specific nature of reprocessing, this expansion required our ReNewal Engineering team to not only lead the custom design and build elements of the expansion, but also ensure the new spaces could be utilized quickly. Their leadership and the support of our entire Redmond team have allowed us to start strong in 2023 with enhanced capabilities.

all remaining sites to be done by 2025. The project team and business partners have conducted nearly 200 training classes, with more to follow, to ensure a successful transition for the manufacturing teams.
